because they are more Fortunately locat-

they are not afraid to prove their

the town by sitting on dry goods boxes

who come before the COS, or soon
after, believe in Kansas as they do in
their own families; they have helped to
praise her future through good and

back over twenty-five or thirty years
struggles in Kansas, love the State for
the triumphs and victories she has Sc
cured over her trials and hardships
The legand born upon the State seal,
"TO the stars through difficulties, was
aptly chosen for Kansas. The State
pride Of the Kansas is not found on
his wonderful material prosperity, but
upon broader idea. Nowhere in all
the settlement Of the great west have
people made greater sacrafice for fhe
education of their children. First class
school houses conld be seen far out on
the prairies long before the two-story
dwellings made their appearance. The
best buildings in every town for the
first ten Or even twenty years Of its
eXistanco has been the school house:
and the church and the newspaper fol-
lowed quickly with q generous support
The pioneers Of Kansas never forgot
that it was their first duty to educate
their children. They were poor and
mortgaged, and crops sometimes failed
and prices ruled low but the schools
houses Welo built and the teachers en-
ploycd Just the same. 1t requires an
intelligent and brave people to.do this.

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-03-11

The death Of Capt. Eids, at Nassau,
New Providence, on the S.h instant,
lie announced by telegraph. 1t was
wholly mex pected, and has taken the
country by surprise. No man
that we know Of has, during
the last thirty years, made so
great and 30 enduring a
reputation as Capt. Eads. Beginning
with the building OF the iron clads that
were such powerful aids to the Federal
army in it's progress through the
Southwest and ending with his pro-
posed Tehuantepec railway, he made
marvellous progress az an engineer,
and made name and a
reputation that win go
down to succeeding generations with
the century. The great bridge that
spans the Mississippi at st. Louis and
the jetties that at the m )uth OF the
Mississippi made 1t possible for the
people OF New Orleans to compete
with the Atlantic seaboard for the
traffic aud traIe' of the West attest
the extent OF a genius that contem-
plated with calmness the most start
ling enterprises. the story OF the
bridge and that of the tiles sets forth
not only the creative skill OF this, one
OF the greatest engineers Of tho age,
but the patience and energy
oil man conscious OF his
power aud confident in him
self. That he would have succeeded
with the Tehuantepec Marine Railway
he has left no room to doubt. He inn
bued not only capitalists, but the pub
lie with the certainty of his
desiRns, and sooner or later the
capital for ii would have been
placed at his disposal. Capt
Eads was characterized by great re-
huement OF manner, by strength and
lenscity Of purpose and clearness OF
perception that he easily made others
share with him. His loss is a great
one. There is no one to fill his place.
The schoolmen cannot furnish his
equal from their ranks aud it may be
generations before another. such
genius arises to put to shame the
tedious ploddings that technical
education sometimes entails upon its

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Tennessee has not done anything in
the last twenty-five years that re-
bounds 80 much to her credit as the
passage Of the bill that increases the
school fund from $2,000,0 600 to SIS ,OO0,-
600. 1t Is an dvertisement 10 the pub.
lie beyond the limits OF the State, no.
tice that we are keeping pace not only
with the material progress, Of tie other
States Of the South, but are deter
mined to 60 beyond them in the one
point upon which the average me-
chanic and laboring man lays particu-
lar stress. This increase in the
school fund Is an invitation
to poor but industrious men to
come into and settle In the State and
help increase its taxable wealth by
their labor. 1t lie pledge that Tonnes
see is with the modern movment in
education and means to be among
the leading States Of the Union.
1, is plain notice that the
cloud of ignorance must disap.
pear aud that the light of
an increasing intelligence is not far fl.
Mr.. Hanna deserves the thanks Of the
peopls for his persistence in pushing
this bill, but above all for the COM
prehensiveness of IFS provisions, ever y
Que Of which is instinct with the
spirit Of a school Ieformer and par
vaded by the intelligence OF one who
has had experience and knows.
Here in Memphis, where we have
public schools that cannot bs ex-
cslled, schools that surpass anything
tie people have any adequate knowl-
edge Of, this increase OF the public
school fund will come 40 an inspira-
ton attesting an aroused and reawak-
ened public spirit in favor OF the educa.
ton Of the masses. They are squaled
by few and surp issed by none In the
solid and endu ring foundation that

are proud OF their schools and the ad-
dition to the city school tax this year
made by Senator's Lynn and Monte
donico, increased by this very graft
Tying addition to the States school
fond, Is assurance that future Of
,brilliantpromise lies before the schools
wherein the masses are to be elevated

carr ed in the church up the Henry
street aisle, and plsced on the dais in
front OF the pulpit. The psll was
drawn back aud the sliding top of the
casket was removed, exposing to view
the fscs Of the dead. The guard of
bonor took up its position and then
the regiment filed into church in
double file front, marched up one
aisle aud passed in front OF the coffio,
breaking ranks and passing one file on
each side and then down the other
aisle to the street. In the meantime
Gen. Horatio O. King played, as the
body was borne in the church, Bee
thoven's burial march. 1t ia The same
march that was played at the great
composers fureral in 1928. -
All afternoon the long line OF people
passing through the church to view
the remains continued to increase,
and the rush was 80 great to gain adj
mission that it was found necessary to
increase the force of officers around
the church d ors. The tbrong Was
made up of almost all nstionalities.
As the day advanced the line of PEG
pie extended unit 1t reached Fulton
street; then down one side OF the
next block snd up the other, with
another wing across Henry street. l.
was estimated that nearly 10000 peo-
pie passed before the catafalque during
the day. There were go mary wIesths
and bouquets left on the bier that

platform at the foot OF the pulpit to re-

The will of Mr.. Beecher was read
this afternoon in the presence of the
family. 1t is probable that it Will not
be filed for probate, as one of the
main provisions authorizes the mem
bers of the fami y to settle among
themselves the division of what there
is lett. The chief feature Of it is that
Mrs. Bescher is first provided for. The
contents of it will not be known I'M
lees the will is probated, as it is the
wish Of the family that no publication
Of its contents should be made.
Tonight the Beecher residence was
brilliantly lighted, and everything
around the house was made as bright
as possible. Mrs.. Beecher had been
in her late husbands room greater
portion OF the afternoon, looking over
his papers. 1t seems delight to her
10 be near where her husband spent
much of his time. The members of
ihs family were dressed in bright
clothing, as though going to church
on Sunday, and everything around
was made as light and cheerful as pos
sible in accordance with the often ex-
pressed wish of Mr.. Beecher in case of
his death. Hundreds OF people called
duiirg the day and left their csris, in.

was more crowded than during the
afternoon. The line of people waiting

COTTON SEED OIL AND LARD.

There Is q cotton seed war existing,

st. Peul Press states that Il! begins TO
look as ii the hog raising commune
ties would have to call upon Cor gress

resting fact that sdultarated lard is
10 quite ss general use as adulterated
butter has been brought out by the
unScrupulousne,s OF monopolies. Z"
The slatisticians, our contsmpo lary
declares, have been puzzled with the
amount OF lard produced in proper
ton to the number of hogs killed, and
now 1t seems the excess was caused by
adulteating the lard with the oil, a
process which improves the article,
the APPEAL has no doubt, for a pure
vegetable oil is much more wholesome
than hogs grease. The statements Of
